Faeries can be seen as genii loci- as spirits of place. They form part of the soul of the British Isles, being embedded not just in folklore and traditions but in the country's very fabric- its landscape and monuments.

This unique and inspiring book examines various aspects of the faeries' central role at the heart of British culture and topography. Chapters consider how artists like Paul Nash and Ithell Colquhoun have perceived the vital presence of the Good Folk, how they inhabit the landscape and ancient monuments- a presence which is reflected in place names, how they are intimately linked to certain trees and how their abiding presence in central to the myths of the undead King Arthur.
